This 2026 update provides a comprehensive review of Cutaneous Adverse Food Reactions (CAFR) in dogs and cats. With a prevalence of 18–29% in pruritic pets, the 8-week elimination diet remains the diagnostic gold standard, as serological tests lack clinical reliability. This report explores IgE and T-cell mediated pathways, allergen hierarchies (beef, dairy, poultry), and the critical issue of cross-contamination in 40% of OTC diets. From selecting between home-cooked meals and advanced hydrolyzed diets ($< 3$ kDa) to performing the essential oral food challenge, this expert guide delivers rigorous clinical strategies for long-term dermatological and GI management.
